Chapter 153 The Opportunity to Unify the World

The behemoth in front of Zhao Lang was completely black, with bursts of condensed white heat coming out of it.

Like a ferocious ancient beast, it is intimidating.

Below him is a very special-looking road with a lot of wood paved in the middle.

Connecting the two ends of the wood are sections of black and shiny metal tracks. The entire road is about a hundred feet long.

Countless craftsmen are busy around, and at the same time, each one is recording something.

Soon an official who was a supervisor from Da Qin came over and reported,

"Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Hearing this, Zhao Lang also showed an excited expression, then nodded and said,

"let's start."

Soon the officials made an announcement, and everyone started to move. With a loud sound, a thick burst of water vapor rushed into the sky,

This dark metal behemoth began to move slowly,

Bang, bang, bang.

Zhao Lang listened to the voice and looked at the scene in front of him. For a moment, it felt like he was in another world. He couldn't help but froze on the spot.

Because he saw not just the clumsy steam engine in front of him, but the vast future.

You know, this is Da Qin now!

This dreamlike feeling made him a little uncomfortable.

Soon the behemoth came to the end. At this time, the official who was the supervisor of Da Qin Jiang came over again and excitedly reported,

"Your Majesty, the operation is extremely good this time!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! With this divine object, no matter how vast the territory of Da Qin is, it can still be tightly connected!"

"Your Majesty, please allocate more finances and let me make more of these things!"

Hearing this, the surrounding officials also showed bursts of excitement.

This kind of power is not something that ordinary people can fight against. With this thing, even if it is to unify the entire world that His Majesty said, there will be no problem.

Zhao Lang also nodded. Although in his opinion, the steam engine is just the lowest mechanical structure.

But you have to look at what time it is now,

With such a prototype, there is indeed no problem for Da Qin to unify the world.

As for money, what he is least worried about is money. Now the whole country, including Daqin, is constantly creating new wealth due to the development of technology.

Externally, it absorbs the human and material resources around it almost constantly.

So just as he was about to agree to the other party, he heard a cold snort coming from the side and said,

"Is this how Da Qin's craftsman, the leader of the Moh family, is acting like this?"

After hearing this, the surrounding area instantly became quiet.

Everyone couldn't help but look over and saw a craftsman wearing Mohist clothing.

The official who was the supervisor of Da Qin was looking at him with disdain.

The official's face turned red instantly and he shouted loudly,

"What nonsense are you talking about in front of His Majesty!"

At this time, the Mohist craftsmen first saluted Zhao Lang, then stood up and criticized the officials and said,

"What nonsense am I talking about?"

"Let me ask you, if this thing is working perfectly, why don't you make this track longer?"

"Demon Town Museum"

"Why not increase the firepower? Make it faster?"

"Also, why aren't there any goods being transported to the rear?"

The Mohist craftsmen's series of questions made the officials blush, but they were hesitant and speechless.

Zhao Lang naturally knew that there must be something fishy, ​​so he asked,

"what is going on?"

The Mohist craftsmen returned soon,

"Chief, although the prototype of this thing is now complete, it will not be scrapped after one use like before."

"But now, because of the materials, it's simply not possible to achieve a complete seal."

“It’s not powerful enough to drag anything too heavy, and it’s not long-lasting either.”

"And the iron road underneath cannot withstand it for a long time,"

"Not to mention the cost involved. If we really want to pave this iron road all over Daqin, the cost will be unimaginable."

Facing their leader, the Mohist craftsmen quickly explained the difficulties one by one.

Finally,

"Chief, this thing cannot be used on a large scale now. Otherwise, it will just waste people and money and be just a decoration."

This thing was originally created by the Mo family. Of course they know the difficulties and have been studying it.

Later, after cooperating with Da Qin Craftsman, I didn't expect these officials to actually use this semi-finished product to claim credit from the leader.

After hearing this, Zhao Lang did not show much disappointment.

Because although the current prototype still has various shortcomings, even if it cannot pull too much cargo, even if it does not run for a long time, even if the railway does not last long, even if it is extremely expensive,

But there is one fact that cannot be changed: this prototype is ready to run.

Everything else can slowly improve.

What he can see now is that a complete version of the steam engine will definitely come out in his lifetime!

that's enough!

Now as long as Da Qin continues to develop safely and steadily, then unifying the world is not a problem.

So he smiled and said,

"I understand, just continue. You don't have to worry about money."

Upon hearing this, the Da Qin official suddenly smiled and said quickly,

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

After speaking, he glanced at the Mohist craftsman somewhat provocatively.

The Mo family craftsman frowned at this time. He knew that even with Da Qin's current foundation,

Nor can we afford such a huge construction.

Not to mention anything else, in just the past ten years, Da Qin has consumed countless top talents and countless materials.

Only then did we achieve the results we have now. If we want to expand this to the entire Qin Dynasty,

The manpower and material resources involved will be unimaginable!

Adhering to the Mohist idea of ​​loving the people, instead of investing such huge materials and manpower, it is better to use it to improve people's livelihood.

Nowadays, the people at the lowest level in Da Qin can only barely have enough food and clothing.

Just when he was about to give some advice, he heard Zhao Lang continue to say,

"You have to remember that this is going to be an extremely long and difficult road ahead,"

"But we can't give up because of temporary difficulties. Of course, Daqin will not put all its experiences on this."

"What we want to do is a sustained, forward path."

Hearing this, the Mohist craftsmen immediately felt relieved.

Also, from the very beginning, their leader cared for the people very much.

Zhao Lang set the tone for subsequent development, so no one said anything else.

Everyone is just thinking about how to popularize this thing.

Looking at the craftsmen who were busy again, Zhao Lang exhaled slowly,

Sure enough, it's still not that easy.

It's not a big problem, he can afford to wait.

It's a pity that the dog system has gone. Otherwise, why would we have to ask about the complete set of steelmaking techniques?

This way you don’t have to suffer so much when it comes to basic materials.

There are bad things and good things. Now every step Da Qin takes is extremely practical. Slow down a little slower.

Even if it takes another ten, twenty or even fifty years, there will eventually come a day.

When Da Qin connects the whole world with railways,

At that time, it was the opportunity to unify the world!
